2. Installation

Cloud Discovery Service is not installed as part of a Connext DDS package, unless you are installing a license-managed (“lm”) package (such as rti_connext_dds-6.1.1-lm-x64Win64VS2017.exe), which includes Cloud Discovery Service. Unless you are installing an “lm” package, Cloud Discovery Service must be downloaded and installed separately. Contact support@rti.com for information on how to obtain a Cloud Discovery Service package for your platform.

2.1. Installing a License-Managed (LM) Version

Install the Connext DDS license-managed (“lm”) package as described in the RTI Connext DDS Installation Guide. The lm package includes Cloud Discovery Service.

After installing the lm package, see How to use a License File with RTI Services.

2.2. Installing a Regular (non-LM) Version

There are two ways to install Cloud Discovery Service: using RTI Launcher or the rtipkginstall command-line utility.

Note

Cloud Discovery Service is supported with Connext DDS 5.3.0 and higher. Before 6.1.0, Cloud Discovery Service was an RTI Labs product that came installed with Connext DDS. As of 6.1.0, it must be downloaded and installed separately (unless you have an lm package).
